What Lies Buried

What Lies Buried...doesn't stay buried.

Scarred by a lifetime of emotional abuse and traumatic violence, Gavin battles the triggers of Complex PTSD. His wife Katie is determined to support him despite the strain of his unpredictable reactions on their marriage.

But returning to Boston to settle his father's estate reactivates Gavin's childhood scars, and more triggers. Then when he uncovers his family's mob history, his volatile reactions put him in the crosshairs of dangerous people. Worried for his safety, Katie packs up their toddler and joins him. While there, she begins sorting through her late parents' keepsakes, finding evidence of the artistic talent she abandoned after her father died, when she became child caregiver to her disabled mother. Eager to revive her unfulfilled past, Katie copes with Gavin's increasingly unstable behavior through her painting and new friendships that encourage her journey to self-discovery.

As Gavin resists treatment and goes off the rails, secrets of his family's past threaten them all. The generational dysfunction in Kain's award-winning Secrets In The Mirror continues, as Katie faces her own emotional wounds and must choose between saving her marriage or saving their child...and herself.
